Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is used to speed the return of un-oxygenated
blood and toxins from one's extremities. Swedish massage stimulates
the skin and nervous system by using long strokes, kneading, friction,
tapping and shaking motions. While soothing one's nerves themselves,
Swedish massage produces a positive effect on all systems of the body.

Deep Tissue Massage
Most patients seeking massage complain about "knots" within
specific areas or muscles of their body. "Knots" commonly occur
when muscles contract for a long period of time causing a lack of
blood flow and oxygen to a specific area. As a result, these muscles
may become shortened and ineffective in moving and supporting the body.
Deep tissue massage is used to increase circulation, soften hardened
tissue, lengthen and relax the affected muscle. Deep tissue massage
helps release muscle contractions that contribute to postural imbalances
and pain.

Myofascial Massage
The fascia tissue is the connective tissue that surrounds and wraps every
muscle, bone, organ, tissue and cell of the human body. The fascia tissue
is often referred to as the "Universal environment for life." Imbalances in one's
posture and loss of range of motion can occur when the fascia tissue becomes
hardened, inflexible, shortened or unmoving due to injury, stress or aging.
Myofascial massage frees the long-time restrictions of these tissues through
slow, deep, intense and effective techniques designed to re-establish balance
within this connective tissue matrix.

Neuromuscular Massage
Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT) is the science of re-establishing
balance between the muscular and nervous systems through the manipulation
of the soft tissues (muscles, tendons & connective tissue). NMT techniques
identify and eliminate "trigger points" within one's body. Trigger points are
specific areas of tissue in which hypersensitivity is focused, thus causing
pain and dysfunction throughout one's body.
NMT techniques address:

• The lack of blood supply to soft tissues
• Trigger points
• Pressure on a nerve by soft tissue cartilage or bone
• The imbalance of the muscular system through faulty movement patterns
